They just aren't the Lions without these two. I realize both are with other teams, but they were a key element of what made the Lions, kind of like the old Raider teams.

Other than the usual niggling by boilerman, jphelan, and couple long-forgotten posters, this forum did a pretty good job way back in 2008 of predicting that today would come.

One poster named "crokedrive" really nailed it. Here's crokedrive on November 5, 2008 (the day after President Obama won his first term):

There is no doubt in my mind that eventually the Supreme Court will rule that bans on same sex marriage are violative of the 14th Ammendment. In the future homosexuals will be granted the same rights as everyone else, as they should. It took us a few hundred years to free the slaves. Another 60 years more to give women the right to vote. Another 50 years more before we even integrated schools and lunch counters. Enlightenment on things doesnt always come quickly, but it eventually comes. One day our descendants will look back on how stupid and bigoted these arguements against same-sex marriages were and look upon us with disgust.
To crokedrive, wherever you are:



It's been a bad 2 days for Republicans, Obamahaters, and homophobes across the nation !
I stand by my 2008 statement...

WebsterDefinitionOfMarriage (2008) - the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.

By definition, marriage can only occur between a man or a woman. I will not call a "civil union" a marriage because, by definition, it cannot be a marriage.

If you want to call yourself a duck -- have at it. But unless you have feathers, a pecker, and say Quack --- I'm not gonna call you a duck. Having a statewide proposition to allow you to call yourself a duck seems pretty silly to me.

I believe same sex couples should be entitled to buy a license to legally bond, just like they should be able to purchase a license for picnic permit. To avoid confusion, I now call a marriage conducted in a church a "Blessed Union" because it is totally different than two men, two women, or two ducks that are bonded by a justice of the peace.
Chilcoot, Thanks for the Shout Out!

Like I said, jphelan's a niggler.

Anybody have a bag of marshmallows?

Shoot !
Don "The Duck" Diego only possesses two of the qualifications to be called a duck. "Quack !"
